ECO-Tip from Creation Care


Our food sources are important, even essential, in God’s plan for creation. We can look for locally grown produce and protein. We can encourage farmers who are using regenerative soil practice. Our choices can heal rather than harm our environment. Let the “meditation of my heart” include how humans use, not abuse, God’s gift of creation.
